how do you remove adhesive from skin?

Question

I recently left the hospital with so much tape adhesive that I can't find an easy way to remove it without scrubbing my skin raw. Can anyone help?

Answer 1

Try a product called De-Solv-It. You can find it in the household cleaners section of your local retailer. It is excellent at removing adhesive and is safe to use on skin.

Answer 2

soak the area well ,in hot soapy water ,
keep it immersed ,for as long as you can ,
then rub dry with a gentle, but firm, one way movement .
it should start to roll off ,

You may have to do this a couple of times more

but you will eventually, get rid of that clingy ,sticky stuff ,
entirely .
I promise ..........

Do not scrub
or be rough with your skin
and do not use alcohol or other chemicals
or you may do damage

You can sooth the skin ,with some baby oil ,after the adhesive has been removed . .

Answer 3

Rubbing Alcohol

Answer 4

Use Vaseline or Baby oil. You could even try cooking spray. Just let it sit on your skin for a bit then wipe off with a soft cloth. Hope you have a quick recovery from your hospital stay.

Answer 5

many natural oils will soften the adhesive. Try mineral oil, or lemon, or orange oil...these are kind to your skin too...you can also try alcohol...it works well but it might irritate the skin

Answer 6

A woman that works in the lab at my doctors office told me that baby oil and crisco work. I used the baby oil and it works.

Anything oil-based, like baby oil or lotion or even cooking oil. Oil breaks down stickiness. Try it. You'll see.
